ACCELERATION

Dental Chairside Flow & Day Design

Improve the flow of the clinical day without adding more hours.

Dental361 helps private dental practices improve chairside workflow, room readiness, clinical hand-offs, changeovers and day design so productive time can be used more consistently.

Completed Care

Small Delays Compound Across the Day

A late room reset, missing material, unclear hand-off or inconsistent tray setup may appear minor in isolation. Repeated across several appointments, these delays reduce production per hour, create overtime and increase pressure on the team.

Acceleration examines the operating design around clinical care. It does not provide clinical advice or interfere with professional judgement.

What This Service Can Include

Day Design

Review appointment sequencing, buffers and the relationship between treatment blocks and available support.

Chairside Workflow

Map preparation, assistance, documentation and hand-offs around the clinical procedure.

Room Changeovers

Reduce avoidable waiting through clearer reset standards, responsibilities and readiness checks.

Tray and Material Setup

Standardise repeatable preparation where appropriate while preserving case-specific needs.

Clinical Support Hand-Offs

Define how information and responsibility move between clinician, assistant, sterilisation and front desk.

Production per Hour Is an Outcome, Not the Only Target

Production per chair hour can help reveal variation in how productive time is used. It should be reviewed with patient care, treatment mix, staffing and clinical quality—not treated as a pressure target.

Acceleration Is Not Appointment-Book Capacity

Access owns scheduling, recalls and the use of available appointment slots. Acceleration owns flow inside the working day. Both can affect chair utilisation, but they require different interventions.
